Question

What if i dont have a 1099-misc form but they keep asking me for a EIN number?

I only made $200 from MK and I tried putting it under other income and they are still asking for an EIN number.

If it's the business EIN they're looking for your EIN. If you don't have one, use your SSN.

if you are trying to enter cash income like a 1099Misc and it wants a EIN of the person that paid you, try entering it this way

You can include the other income as cash on your return and you will not need the 1099. To do so, follow the steps below.

Go into your account with Turbo Tax

Select Federal Taxes, then

Select Income and Wages, then

Scroll down and select, Self-Employment - Income & Expenses - Start

Say YES to Did you have Self Employment Income (if that screen comes up)

Then Tell Us The Type Of Self Employment Work You Do, here you can put in a description and Continue

The next screen will be Let's Get Income, here you will select 'Additional Income'. This is for cash income.

Then continue as you normally do with your return.
